Be ashamed, O Sidon [mother-city of Tyre, now like a widow bereaved of her children];
For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,
“I have neither labored nor given birth [to children];
I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins.”

When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in agony at the report about Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish [to seek safety as exiles];
Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland [of Tyre].

“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(B)
    I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”

    they will be in anguish(C) at the report from Tyre.(D)

Cross over to Tarshish;(E)
    wail, you people of the island.
